Grant was a commanding general in the army before becoming president, serving during the Civil War and helping the Union to victory over the confederates under President Abraham Lincoln. The Grant project was set up previous year at Lionsgate with DiCaprio and Appian Way partner Jennifer Davisson producing a movie version of the Ron Chernow's 2017 biography "Grant". Given his and Spielberg's packed future, negotiations will be centered around pinning down when the two can begin work on the project. Keeping it Presidential, however, Spielberg is apparently mulling a spiritual follow-up to his 2012 biopic Lincoln, while DiCaprio is also set to star in the title role of the Martin Scorsese-directed Teddy Roosevelt picture set up through Appian Way and Paramount.

There's no deal in place for Spielberg to direct it and the company Lionsgate is yet to comment on it.

Sources have told the film publication that DiCaprio is making the project a "priority".

The director is also now preparing to work on the fifth Indiana Jones movie.

For Spielberg, Grant could offer the opportunity to reframe the U.S. Civil War. DiCaprio, now hopefully well and truly recovered from The Revenant, is getting back into the Quentin Tarantino game with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Grant, who became the 18th United States of America president, retaining the position for two terms between 1869-1877 was most widely regarded for his military tactical prowess.
